Stories started floating around the martial arts world that Ogre, the god of fighting has returned after thousands of years. He was now stealing the souls of powerful fighters. The only way to put an end to it was to win the next King of the Iron Fist Tournament so as to challenge the god.įurthermore, Dr. Bosconovitch was dying from an incurable decease. Also plot twist – some of the world’s greatest martial artists mysteriously vanished. The ninja rescued the doctor. Their getaway helicopter was shot down. But Yoshimitsu had his cybernetic hand spin extremely fast – fast enough to use his katana as a propeller and glide them to safety. While looking for Bosconovitch, he ran into his sworn enemy Kunimitsu. She had learned that her grandfather had forged Yoshi’s katana, and thus saw it as her heirloom rather than the Manji clan’s. After a brief scuffle, Yoshi once again sent her packing. Bosconovitch, the genius behind this invention as well as Jack 2, took pity. The doc understood that Yoshi was trying to do the right thing, and gifted him with a cybernetic arm so he could fight another day.ĭuring the next King of the Iron Fist tournament Yoshimitsu learned that Kazuya Mishima, the tournament’s host, had abducted the good doctor. And was forcing him to develop WMDs. Yoshi didn’t really participate in the tournament this time around – he just needed access. Yoshimitsu lost his arm during a botched theft of the Perpetual Engine. Amazingly Dr. His ending indicates that Marshal Law and his family may have been recipients of some of the cash. The Mishima Zaibatsu’s security proved too much for the Manji clan to infiltrate. But after their match Yoshimitsu personally led the operation to steal Ganryu’s wealth and give it to the poor. Ganryu had previously been the youngest sumo wrestler to earn the title of Oozeki (champion). He was poised to ascend to the coveted position of Yokozuna (grand champion), until his corrupt behavior got him barred from the sport. He loved illegal gambling, had become rich from unspecified crimes, and flaunted his ill-gotten gains. Tournamentĭuring the tournament Yoshimitsu fought sumo wrestler Ganryu. Namco never stated who won the match, but it would seem more likely that Yoshi was defeated. In any case, Yoshimitsu was disgusted by the disgraced sumotori’s attitude. It would’ve been better for him had he killed her, but Yoshi, ever the hero, didn’t roll that way. Kunimitsu, once a petty thief, had joined the Manji Clan in order to hone her own skills. Once she got high enough up in the ranks she started embezzling from the clan. Yoshimitsu discovered her treachery, and after beating her in single combat, banished her. When Yoshimitsu heard of the Tekken tournament he decided that his unusual appearance and fighting style would be the perfect distraction for his men to sneak into the Mishima Zaibatsu. And steal the prize money to give to the poor. The Manji Clan was still around and still doing their Robin Hood actions. Chiefly in their native Japan, but with some international operations. It’s not known which Soul Calibur timeline Used here in the sense of an alternate history, where events unfold differently is the past of Tekken. Fan consensus is that it was the time-tested original. Not that any of that matters because… Tekken 1 – Enter Yoshimitsu XVI? The Yoshimitsu in the first Tekken game might be the sixteenth of his line. It’s hard to say given Namco has never gone that deep with it. So it’s just a rough guess based upon how long the original stayed in power before passing it on to a successor.Īlso, when the very first Tekken game came out it vaguely hinted that Yoshi was a space alien.
